The Future of Manufactured Inspiration

CEO & Co-Founder, Worlds Fair USA

Michael believes that inspiration should be a basic human right for every person on Earth. During his years as a Worlds Fair hobbyist, Michael became a Worlds Fair expert and recognized that the Worlds Fair has the unique and powerful ability to inspire millions of people. In 2015, Michael decided to create that place again and started his company, Worlds Fair USA. As an effort to organize a 6-month, 100 million person Worlds Fair in the U.S., Worlds Fair USA is history’s first privatized Worlds Fair effort. Today, he and his team of ‘fairies’ (they’re working on the name…) produce smaller, 10,000 person Worlds Fairs called Worlds Fair Nano in New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. Worlds Fair Nano, just like the Worlds Fairs of old, makes the future exciting and accessible for everyone. Over the next 10 years, Michael hopes to grow Worlds Fair Nano into the 6-month Worlds Fair, and provide inspiration to many millions of people along the way.
